Holiday spirit? Check. An actual ghost? Also check!

Mia thought being ghosted by her ex was bad… until he shows up at her family’s Christmas, turning the oh-so-merry holidays into a week-long romcom nightmare, the kind of disaster that somehow keeps us readers wanting more. The best (or worst?) part? No escape. Just awkward vibes and way too much unresolved tension.

Let’s enter John, an actual ghost who’s been stuck in limbo for over thirty years… and somehow, Mia’s the first person who can actually see him. With nothing better to do (and maybe a shot at finally moving on), John figures he’ll help her get over her ex… or win him back for the matter.

What follows is a week of unexpected friendship, a little ghostly meddling, and a whole lot of paranormal sparks, and yes, with the world’s most unlikely wingman!

Ghosted at Christmas gave me a mix of laughs, sweet moments, and, let’s be honest, a bit of festive chaos. It’s the perfect pick if you’re craving a light read with a paranormal twist. Sure, sometimes I wished for a bit more background and extra spark, but overall, it’s a sweet holiday story about second chances and unexpected connections. If you like your Christmas reads with a side of ghostly shenanigans, this one might just hit the spot on your holiday menu.

Ghosted at Christmas is a feel-good romantic comedy by Holly Whitmore. I have come to enjoy romance with an element of fantasy, so this book was right up my alley!

Mia has escaped to her family's home in the country for Christmas. She's happy to escape her normal day-to-day after being ghosted by her now ex-boyfriend. But things take an unexpected turn when she arrives to discover her brother's best friend Sam is also staying with her family for the holidays. Sam was the one who broke her heart all those years ago, and even now, despite her best intentions to exact revenge upon him, she finds herself drawn to him.

What kind of revenge you may ask? Well here is where we get to the fantasy element of the book, because it just so happens that her cottage is occupied by a ghost. This ghost, John, is very happy to have someone who can finally see him and talk to him after 30 years of being alone. And as it turns out he's also very happy to lend a hand with creating a bit of mischief for poor Sam!

Ghosted for Christmas made me laugh more than a few times, and would make a great holiday read. If you enjoy exes to lovers, forced proximity and a paranormal twist then be sure to give this book a read!
